Still a good enough workaround to leverage the benefits of the trusted repository. Thanks for the tip! Definitely interested in seeing #14 get addressed :)

Chocolatey completely turned me off from Windows package managers. I'm sure you're familiar with all of the sore points that make it more hassle than it's worth. But your description of AppGet has convinced me to try it out.

Is 21.5% really so meager considering the amount of older Android phones in circulation?

That's some intense gatekeeping... At least I can root my Android phone. iOS security, from a targeted hacking perspective, is easier than ever to circumvent for full control: https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2017/11&#x2

What "control" has Samsung given Google that they regret?

That will just create a shitload of low-effort noise in between useful reviews.

I phrased my comment as a question because I was interested in OP's response. I'm not totally sure on the nomenclature here myself.

I was just making an arbitrary suggestion based on previous work by proofofexistence.com. I didn't suggest it was the only way or the best way forward. I realize that people all the time try to say "Blockchain would be great for _

Combine it with some parametric voice tech and you've got yourself a delicious automated stew.

I'm not saying I believe either party in this mess, but to be fair Occam's Razor is used very often to disregard legitimately viable conspiracy theories.

I just hope we can figure out a way to create watermarks, like maybe some kind of hash sum incorporating an asymmetric key which is injected by the camera / device, which can provide verification of source and which cannot be overwritt

That place was a matchbox waiting to get struck. And the electrical situation was a total mess... I mean that's why it burned down. How shitty of a landlord can you be that you wouldn't prioritize people's safety.

Surely people used to convey similar objections about sailing uncharted waters. Exploration is by nature a dangerous gig, everyone involved is completely aware of the risks they are taking.
